Electric Axle Solutions for Commercial Vehicles

electric axle drive

As commercial vehicles accelerate toward electrification, drivetrain architectures are shifting from component-level electrification to platform-based electric axle solutions. Across light trucks, buses, and heavy-duty vehicles, electric axles have become a foundational element for simplifying drivetrain integration and improving system efficiency.

At Brogen, we supply SOP-ready electric axle platforms designed for different commercial vehicle classes. Based on target axle load, power range, and duty cycle, our e-axle solutions support practical vehicle integration, helping commercial vehicle manufacturers shorten integration cycles and reduce technical uncertainty.

Platform Coverage and Multi-Axle Capability

Our electric axle platforms are supplied across a broad range of commercial vehicle classes, including light- and medium-duty trucks, buses, and heavy-duty applications. The platform architecture supports both single-axle and multi-axle vehicle layouts. For applications requiring multiple e-axles, synchronized control enables coordinated operation across up to 16 electric axles, supporting stable vehicle behavior.

Structural Design for Heavy-Duty Applications

Electric axle assemblies are designed to meet the mechanical load and durability requirements of commercial vehicle operation. For heavy-duty applications, an integrated axle housing architecture is applied, supporting rated axle loads of up to 16 tons. Manufacturing processes and component selection are aligned with long-term operational requirements, providing consistent structural performance.

Validation and Production Track Record

Each electric axle platform is validated through a comprehensive development process, including simulation, bench testing, and real-world vehicle evaluation under varied road and environmental conditions. Most configurations are already deployed in volume production for commercial vehicles, delivering proven reliability and consistent performance in real-world fleet operation.

Architecture-Driven Electric Axle Solutions

To address the varied load, packaging, and performance requirements of commercial EV platforms, our electric axle offerings are organized around three drivetrain architectures defined by motor arrangement and power transmission layout. Each architecture represents a different engineering trade-off between packaging efficiency, axle load capacity, power output, and integration complexity, allowing vehicle platforms to be aligned with specific duty cycles adn performance targets across light-, medium-, and heavy-duty applications.

Coaxial Electric Axle

  • Primary Application Focus: Optimized for light commercial vehicles requiring compact packaging and high system integration.
  • Architecture Characteristics: The traction motor is arranged coaxially with the axle housign, forming a highly integrated and space-efficient drivetrain layout.
  • Parallel-Axis Electric Axle

    • Primary Application Focus: A versatile and scalable architecture suitable for a broad range of commercial vehicle platforms.
    • Architecture Characteristics: The traction motor and reduction gearbox are integrated into the drive axle, with the motor mounted parallel to the axle housing. Cylindrical gear transmission enables high gear ratios within a compact structure.

    Distributed Drive Electric Axle

    • Primary Application Focus: Designed for heavy-duty and specialized commercial vehicles requiring high torque, redundancy, and precise control.
    • Architecture Characteristics: A distributed drive layout using dual traction motors with wheel-side reducers. The short transmission path improves efficiency while enabling independent torque control.

    Applications

    Public Transport

    For city buses, highway coaches, double-decker buses, articulated buses, trolleybuses, and more.

    Our electric axle drive solutions are designed to support fully flat, low-floor bus architectures, enabling one-step entry and wider aisles to improve passenger accessibility and interior layout flexibility. The integrated drivetrain enhances vehicle dynamics and handling stability while reducing energy consumption, operational costs, and maintenance complexity—supporting efficient, reliable, and passenger-friendly public transport systems.

    Urban Delivery

    For pickup trucks, box trucks, cargo trucks, light trucks, municipal vehicles, and more.

    Optimized for light commercial vehicle platforms, our electric axle solutions feature a compact, highly integrated architecture that maximizes usable chassis space. This enables either increased battery capacity or greater cargo volume, while the lightweight design reduces vehicle mass, improves energy efficiency, and extends driving range—making it well suited for urban logistics and last-mile delivery operations.

    Heavy Haulage

    For semi-trucks, trailers, tippers, dump trucks, mining trucks, concrete mixers, water trucks, garbage trucks, and more.

    Our electric axle solutions for heavy-duty commercial vehicles deliver high power and torque to meet the demands of continuous operation in harsh environments such as ports, construction sites, and mining applications. The integrated and weight-optimized drivetrain architecture enables compact packaging, improved battery placement, and higher overall vehicle efficiency, supporting durable and cost-effective heavy-duty electrification.

    Intelligent Manufacturing Plant​

    A mature and scalable manufacturing footprint supports our electric axle solutions. We currently operate multiple electric axle production facilities with a combined annual capacity exceeding 10,000 units, ensuring stable quality, consistent output, and reliable delivery for commercial vehicle projects. 

    In 2024, our new production facility commenced operations, adding 8,000 units of annual capacity. In parallel, a smart factory project is under development, designed for high-volume production of up to 20,000 electric axles per year. Equipped with automated assembly lines, intelligent quality inspection systems, and digital production management, this facility will further strengthen our ability to support large-scale global deployments.

    • Parallel-axis electric axles for mainstream commercial vehicles
    • Distributed electric axles for high-load, high-power heavy-duty applications

    Each architecture is optimized for different packaging, load, and performance requirements.

    Architecture selection depends on several factors, including axle load, target power and torque, duty cycle, chassis layout, suspension type, and battery packaging strategy. Our expert team supports EV builders during the concept and selection phase to ensure optimal matching.

    Power output ranges from approximately 60 kW to over 600 kW, depending on configuration. Multiple voltage platforms are supported, including common commercial vehicle voltage levels. Specific parameters can be customized based on platform requirements.

    By integrating the motor, gearbox, and axle into a single unit and eliminating the driveshaft, electric axles reduce mechanical losses, system mass, and packaging complexity – resulting in improved drivetrain efficiency and overall vehicle energy performance.

    The compact, integrated design of the electric axle frees up chassis space and enables greater flexibility for battery placement. This supports higher battery capacity, improved weight distribution, or increased cargo and passenger space.

    Yes. Some parameters such as motor power, voltage level can be customized. Platform-based customization helps balance performance targets and development cost. Custom development beyond existing platforms may involve additional engineering fees.

    Yes. Our electric axles have undergone extensive simulation, bench testing, and vehicle-level validation. Many configurations are already in mass production and deployed in real-world commercial vehicle applications.
